Ad for gun training bars Muslims and Obama voters

[marmar]

A radio ad for a handgun training class that bars Muslims and Obama voters has sparked an investigation in Texas.

"We will attempt to teach you all the necessary information you need to obtain your (Concealed Handgun License)," the ad says. Then towards the end, it adds: "If you are a socialist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner in chief, please do not take this class. You have already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision under the law."

And then: "If you are a non-Christian Arab or Muslim, I will not teach you the class with no shame; I am Crockett Keller, thank you, and God bless America."

The ad ran for six days on KHLB, Mason's local station. It's also been heard tens of thousands of times on Youtube. ........(more)

3. What an ass.

Dumbass Bubbas like this are why I question what somebody told me recently about shooters leaving their politics at home when they go to the range.

How about non-christian white people, Crocky? you teach them?
If I remember correctly, don't you need to complete one of these classes to get a concealed carry permit? I wonder how the state feels about his discriminatory practices? Oh, that's right, it's Texas...

8. From the article:

But the state of Texas may disagree. The Department of Public Safety said in a
statement that certified instructors of handgun training are required to comply
with all applicable state and federal laws, and added: "Conduct by an instructor
that denied service to individuals on the basis of race, ethnicity or religion
would place that instructor's certification by the Department at risk of suspension
or revocation." The department has said it has begun an investigation.

10. Good on them!

Hope they pull any other certificates he has, too. No, wait, that would just drive him underground to surface in Idaho someday... Keep him in the database.

4. The hook is to get more "students" who are hypernativist, hyper-Christian, and hyperxenophobic.

Nobody's going to march into this guy's class and announce "I'm a Muslim who voted for Obama in 2008 and I want to ban guns."

7. Perfect name. He is indeed a Crock.

9. pretty silly thing to say, even coming from Texas

one's political inclination in the ballot box has no bearing on the ability to pull a trigger on a handgun.

Handguns are used by socialists/liberals/communists all over the world. I'm sure some of them are far better than Crockett Keller will ever be, and they will not need to take his class in the first place.
